New Week - New Outlook

Alright, it's time I stopped complaining about what I do... I chose this profession and I truly do love it. For instance, today I was able to do a procedure that I love doing - it went well and I felt good that since I've started residency I've gained enough confidence and knowledge to do this without much hesitation. Maybe one day, I'll feel that way about most of what I do... maybe.

I'm a little scared about going back to pediatrics in a couple of weeks. I'll be in the NICU and I haven't stepped foot in one since I interviewed. The good thing is that I'll be there in July - the highly anticipated month when all interns across America begin their residencies. I'll probably just blend in like the rest of them. I will have an edge though since I know the hospital system and the computers...

Oh yeah - I shaved my head... pictures to come later ;)
